What do Hungarian universities offer?
Quality university education
Hungary has a long history of higher education: our oldest university was founded in 1367 (!) and is flourishing to date. Hungary has over 20 higher education institutes despite being no larger than KwaZulu-Natal in size.
Affordable tuition and cost of living
While Hungary is part of the European Union, it uses it`s own currency, the Hungarian Forint (HUF). 1 HUF=18-20 ZAR, which makes it very affordable. Hungary is fast becoming a No.1 study destination for international students.
Acknowledged degrees
Knowing that the investment in your education will prove to be a valuable one is very important. Hungarian university degrees are widely acknowledged around the world as proof of the high level of studies.
